			<p>Thank you for your interest in my Image Resizer software. <b>Image Resizer</b> is a simple software that enables you to resize your images
			that are too large and taking up a lot of your hard disk space. The digital cameras now-a-days take pictures with very high resolution and hence
			each picture ends up being over 4 Megabytes and some times even more. I am sure a one-day trip to the Golden Gate Bridge or Times Square will shorten your
			available hard disk space by several hundred megabytes. For printing pictures on paper, or to have them turned into posters, the higher the resolution, the better..
			But, how often do we print pictures? 90% of us do share the pictures via e-mail or photo sharing applications like Flickr or Picasa. It takes quite
			a bit of time to upload pictures to those sites. The same is the case with downloads as well. </p>
			<p>With this utility, you could turn all those pictures into a 1024x768 images (which is not too bad) or any size you desire, leaving the size of each image around 100KB-200KB range, Thats over 95% reduction in size without compromising the quiality too much (again, good for email sharing). I wrote this utility for myself, but then I decided to upload it to the internet for someone else like me to take advantage of it. </p>
			<p>I found several such utilities on the internet but not many of them are free, each one requires a heavy download. This is purely Java based and is very easy to use. Most of all, it is absolutely free. </p>
			<p>Please read below to explore the software in detail.</p>
